We can look to other sports for a glimpse at what the future of gambling might hold for golf.
I once played golf with the president at the Galveston Country Club. Not the president of the country club; the president of the United States. Almost.
It was Woods v Mickelson, and what they did was what we should have expected. Like the days of the Palmer-Nicklaus rivalry, the pair just cannot help but go full grind when head to head.
Young women seem to be increasingly interested in the game, as evidenced by program growth in our local high schools and thanks to area PGA golf professionals who do a wonderful job of teaching the game and keeping it interesting.
Galveston Island Meals on Wheels, Inc. is a nonprofit organization feeding the homebound, elderly and infirm of Galveston.
As the football floated gently just right of the upright in the cool air at Mile High Stadium, and your Houston Texans won their sixth consecutive game, I declared with nobody but my bride in earshot: “Ya gotta have a little luck along the way.”
In addition to interesting reads on how golf can be the nexus for lasting friendships and golf fitness, the issue points out that Moody Gardens has been an Island staple since it opened in 1986, complete with a rainforest, aquarium and of course, those iconic pyramids.
The really terrible shot you might have hit in your most recent round of golf, does not tell the whole story: it just makes a solid foundation for explaining an unwanted outcome.
Watching the Houston Texans is a wonderful reminder to golfers: If you play poorly long enough, eventually something good will happen! Unfortunately, you might still continue to play poorly.
Alex Bregman’s line-drive home run in Game 1 of the ALDS was reminiscent of the sound of a Tiger Woods “stinger,” which assumes a similar trajectory but travels more than twice as far.
If you watched the Houston Texans visit Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday to challenge the Colts, there is no need to explain to “winning ugly” means. If you arose much earlier in the day to tune in the final day of the Ryder Cup matches from a place in France that I can neither re…
Brian Nygaard Oswald is a golf rules expert who conducts seminars all over the country. As he succinctly explains, a mulligan is the one “rule” that every golfer knows — but is not actually written into the official rulebook.
If you do not already have a FedEx delivery manager profile, consider getting one before your next vacation — especially if you have a wine delivery already in transit and just discovered you won’t be home to sign for the package.
Ball High head golf coach Mike Kleinecke, along with assistant coaches Brian Nelson and Sherman Elias, has released a tournament schedule.
Daybreak revealed a perfect match with the previous night’s forecast; by the time I reached the practice tee the sun was bright just above the horizon.
Questions proffered by the rock duo Zager and Evans in their 1969 hit “In The Year 2525” have been answered as that year arrives: not only is man still alive; he (and she) still plays golf, arms and legs having not been rendered useless.
This final piece in my series on green-reading books is nothing short of headache-inducing, beginning with this direct quote from the executive director of the R&A:
To all who insist that Tiger Woods, age 42, is “washed up,” you are now, as Dusty Springfield sang in 1964: “Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin.’” Period. The man can still compete at the highest level of the game. Period.
“Chances are, your chances are, awfully good,” sang Johnny Mathis back in 1960. Mathis was a champion high jumper back in the day and, according to more than one source, also an outstanding ping pong player. Years later, he took up golf.
No sooner than training camps open from coast to coast and border to border — and nowhere more dramatically than in the great state of Texas — do large photos and stories on sports pages and major magazines begin to feature quarterbacks, with their big smiles and their bigger contracts.
